Career
(2009 – Present)
Yvette joined Rashid and Co Solicitors in February 2014 and is a qualified Chartered Legal Executive Lawyer. She has extensive knowledge encompassing both private and public law matters. She has successfully represented parents and relatives involved in contentious care and adoption proceedings against a local authority, which is where her expertise is.
Due to her empathetic approach and knowledge she is often asked to represent vulnerable clients. As such, she has extensive experience working on sensitive cases involving forced marriage, emotional abuse, sexual abuse allegations, radicalism, murder and FGM.
Yvette is recognised for her personable relationships with clients; always ensuring their comfort and needs are a priority. This, alongside her enthusiasm to exceed expectations and her appetite to succeed, ensures she is an excellent choice when seeking representation.
Yvette is no longer with the firm and we are in the process of updating our website. Overall head of department is Mr Tariq Rashid.
